Summary "Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson" by William Beatty is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This publication provides a detailed recount of the events surrounding the death of Lord Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar, along with the surrounding context and circumstances that led to this pivotal moment in naval history. Beatty, who served as the surgeon on the HMS Victory, offers both a professional report on Nelson's wound and a personal perspective on the legendary admiral's final moments. The narrative covers Lord Nelson's journey leading up to the Battle of Trafalgar, his strategies, and the actual engagement with the enemy fleets. It provides an intimate look at Nelson's leadership style and his interactions with his crew, as well as the chaotic and harrowing moments during the battle. Upon receiving a fatal wound from a musket ball, Beatty details Nelson's remarkable composure in facing death, his thoughts about his legacy, and his concern for his loved ones, particularly Emma Hamilton and his adopted daughter, Horatia. As the battle proceeded, Beatty captures both the atmosphere of victory and the profound grief following Nelson's demise, painting a poignant portrait of a national hero who embodied duty and valor until his last breath.
